They're away to Brentford. Does it matter to us either way?

[Pilchards]

We have them the following Saturday so I doubt it will matter.

If anything, Leeds go through then there league form could slump as the manks game will be on everyones mind.

[Trumush]

You're a week out David

 

Still hopefully Tranmere might be knackered after their excursion to Aldershot.

Indeed. Never mess with the 'shot.

Leeds had 36 shots..... v. 5 from Kettering !

 

LATER ,

Ah well a bit to much to hope for I guess,

Leeds score twice in a minute ...Now 3-1 with 12 mins.to go.

That's not that high a shot to goal ratio though, is it. Leeeds flinched tonight.

[Whitey Grandad]

Psychologically, perhaps the seeds of self-doubt are beginning to grow in the minds of the Leeds players.

[Rory]

Saints will be in a better state of mind psychologically having recently catapulted out of the relegation area. Leeds have the pressure of maintaining top place and a promotion push.

[Andy Durman]

Lets face it Leeds were a class above the brave Kettering team.

[Junior Mullet]

Saints and Leeds are two evenly matched teams. Just like Norwich and Saints are pretty evenly matched.

 

Next Saturday at Leeds should be a very interesting game. Could go either way.

Not in the end of course, but Kettering fought them hard for 108 mins (1-1)

but the second goal was the killer.

After that it was all downhill for Leeds and Kettering lost heart.

 

At that point it was 36 Leeds shots for 1 goal - not a good average though.

[Hatch]

Non League Kettering sacked their assistant manager after losing away at top of League One Leeds United.

 

Bizarre.

The chairman didn't like the subs, apparently:

Only watched it from half-time but I thought Leeds were very poor, especially after Kettering equalised. Loads of mis-hit passes and no real ideas up front. They only ran away with it once the non-leaguers tired towards the end of extra time.

 

Having said that, I don't suppose that game can be typical of their play this season, otherwise they would not be where they are in the league. Should be a good game week Saturday.
